Randall Ashe, special agent-in-charge of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's criminal investigation division talks on the phone in the lobby of the Crestwood, Ill. village hall while agents executed a search warrant in village offices, including the public works department. Ashe said the team is looking for evidence of environmental crimes. "We're looking for any evidence we can get," he said, though he would not elaborate. A Chicago Tribune investigation found that the village cut corners and knowingly supplied its residents with contaminated well water for two decades.
